Excerpt from Pier Pressure

This is an excerpt from a story that I wrote called “Pier Pressure”

I had done it.  I looked up at four faces peering over the edge of the pier.  They were my friends, my real friends. They didn’t look shocked and surprised.  I remember when I had no hope that I was going to do it, but now I could walk up onto the pier and jump right off without thinking twice. I felt like I could do anything now.

Rambling Autobiography

I Hate The Smell of Air Freshener

Ryan

 

When I was younger I thought superglue and my fingers were a good match.  It was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made. I was at basketball practice and our warm up was to run backwards.  I learned something that day–do not run backwards with your laces untied. Once I stepped on a fly and thought it was a bee, so I ran around my house screaming. A couple of months back I was riding my bike down the road and I felt a huge bump under my tire. I looked back and saw a turtle. Once my cousin said to me that he believes in ghosts, so that night I banged on his wall and made ghost noises.  In the morning he said he got no sleep.

 

Once I ran into a glass door at the mall and the glass cracked everywhere. I love marshmallows that are completely burned. My dog tries to catch mice, and when she does, she eats them. I hate video games. I could pop bubble wrap for three hours straight and I wouldn’t get bored. People tell me that cracking knuckles can give you arthritis but I know that’s a lie. I find grating cheese extremely satisfying. I love dogs, but I hate cats I think.  Cats are so boring. I have an addiction for jumping off things. I hate the smell of air freshener. I love to scrape the frosting off oreos and eat the frosting separately. I hate bananas.
